[QUOTE="DocWatson, post: 283230, member: 112"] As GTS225 said, you're missing the gas issue. It's delivered to the station by TRUCK, pumped from the station tanks by ELECTRICITY. Deliveries will stop IMMEDIATELY and once all the fuel is HAND PUMPED from the inground tanks, that will be IT. Nobody will be refining any more fuel, much less distributing it. The best way to look at the senerio you are proposing is to assume that NOTHING will work or be available when the music stops. If you want gas, you'll have to start stockpiling it now and setup a system to constantly renew your supply as it has a "shelf life". A buddy in rural Oregon had a 100 gal tank with a gravity pump system on his property because he lived so far from town, didn't get there much and worked as a logger. As for the survivalist nuts, just shoot yourself when you see them coming. #-o [/QUOTE]
